this is because I did not like the default look, so I have gone with this one. The reason it does not allow change is because modifications made to the board (ie, the new chat, etc) require that each template (subSilver, etc) be edited, and that is a lot of work

well, that should be able to be changed, I would just have to figure out what background color works, as it is a matter of changing the .CSS file that defines all the colors, fonts, etc.

i wanna chat with you :( yeah, well, I have a new chat, and you are here but not in it :(

I can always replace the black with another color. I have learned a lot in the realm of CSS, so would you have a better suggestion for the color?

you said something about color suggestion.

Something other than black. I didn't mind the silver default one

if even just for me would be appreciated.

Well, the thing is, that I like the layout of the site forums. It is the simple color things that I was going to look into changing. Like, example, right now the font color is white on a form of black. I do not like the look of the default. I think one of the reasons deals with that is what most who use phpBB use that subsilver default. If you run across a site that has a nice color scheme, then point me to it and I will look into it.

Why don't you try a light gray background with black text and keep the red trim? And if that doesn't work, try something else...and so on until you have it where you want it.
